Leave a comment

Luxury Travel Ltd (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com), an award winning luxury travel and tour operator in Vietnam, has announced the addition of Charlotte Ham as its Sales & Marketing Senior Executive for the French and Dutch markets.

Hanoi, Vietnam, February 21, 2012 – Luxury Travel Ltd., an award winning luxury travel tour operator and destination management company (“DMC”) in Vietnam, has announced the addition of Charlotte Ham as its Sales & Marketing Senior Executive in its Hanoi Head Office.

Ms. Ham will be responsible for overseeing sales, marketing, and customer care with Luxury Travel’s business partners throughout Europe, seeking new business opportunities and coordinating the company’s marketing program.

Born in France, she has traveled to numerous regions around the world, but is continuously drawn back to Vietnam. Ms. Ham’s in-depth knowledge of the region will be an immense asset to Luxury Travel as it expands its influence in European markets, especially the French and Dutch markets.

“Since I was young, I was always really interested in and attracted to Asian countries and cultures. Luxury Travel gives me the opportunity to use my language skills, due to my double nationality (French/Dutch), and to look deeper into my Asian passion. This company is well organized and puts its relationship with the client first.” said Ms. Ham.

“We expect significant French traffic to Vietnam in 2012. French-speaking markets are among the top three from Europe, which has been aided by direct flights between Vietnam and France. We have a strong team of French speaking travel advisors who understand the culture and needs of French tourists. Our efforts are aimed at promoting Vietnam as a luxury destination and to attract upscale French-speaking travelers with niche tourism products, especially during the low season in Vietnam from April to September,” said Luxury Travel’s CEO Pham Ha.

Opened in 2004, the Luxury Travel Company Limited (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) is the first luxury tour operator and DMC in Vietnam, has its own offices, luxury vehicles, luxury travel advisors, and serves thousands of high-end travelers every year. The company’s depth of experience and large infrastructure enable it to create unique itineraries with the operational confidence to fulfill client expectations. Luxury Travel Ltd has won numerous travel awards for excellent performance, including the most recent award: “Best Luxury Tour Operator in Vietnam.”

Incite Creative helps PaintPrints Make its Mark

Leave a comment

The Hadassah Medical Center pioneers stem cell research to improve and potentially cure the lives of people suffering from debilitating diseases and conditions.

Baltimore, MD, February 01, 2012 – Incite Creative is proud to announce its involvement with local artist, Stephanie Levine, in helping to shape her brand and create exposure for her collection of original works titled, PaintPrints by Staphanie in conjunction with her recent honoring at the Hadassah Medical Center’s 6th annual CELL-A-BRATE event on January 28th in Baltimore, MD.

The Hadassah Medical Center pioneers stem cell research to improve and potentially cure the lives of people suffering from debilitating diseases and conditions. Hadassah chose to honor Stephanie because of her achievements as an artist and as an inspirational person with a disability. Although Ms. Levine has been wheelchair bound due to Cerebral Palsy her entire life, she has been living an active life as a volunteer and more recently as an artist.

The “PaintPrints” brand combines Stephanie’s passion for painting and acknowledges the tools of her trade — the palm of her hand and her own fingerprint. The logo Incite created leverages her thumbprint as a repeating pattern to create a flower-like shape – an element of nature that is oftentimes included in her paintings.

“My team and I were honored to play a role in creating a unique brand for such a unique woman,” says Incite Creative President, Dina Wasmer. “Stephanie has the potential to inspire so many people with her story and her paintings but needed some help to reach those who might otherwise not get the opportunity. We were happy to donate our time and services to promote PaintPrints and above all else, know that we were able to put a proud smile on Stephanie’s face.”

Incite Creative provided name development, logo design, business card design, and custom Facebook fan page design for the organization, in addition to art direction of on-site photography at the artist’s home, copywriting and public relations and social media services. For more information about Stephanie Levine and her art work, you can follow her on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/PaintPrintsbyStephanie

Acoustiblok Named “Best Practices” Customer by Hubspot Internet Marketing

Leave a comment

Eighteen months after adopting Hubspot’s all-in-one marketing platform, Tampa, Florida-based Acoustiblok has increased website traffic by 210 percent, increased organic search leads by 307 percent, and increased customer transactions by 40 percent, contributing to Acoustiblok’s record sales increases in 2011.

Hubspot named Acoustiblok a “Best Practices” customer based on its application of Hubspot marketing tools for website management, blogging, search engine optimization (SEO), lead management, marketing analytics, social media monitoring, and website analysis.

“Being recognized by an industry leader as a “best practices” customer is a real accomplishment, and one we’ve worked hard to achieve,” said Liz Ernst, director of public relations for Acoustiblok, Inc. “We have a small marketing and PR team, and we had been trying different approaches to increasing traffic and drawing attention to our Acoustiblok soundproofing product line, and our Thermablok aerogel insulating strips.

“Hubspot gave us some serious one-on-one attention and guidance to understand where to best devote our efforts for the greatest return on our marketing and PR campaigns.”

Acoustiblok President and Founder Lahnie Johnson says that Hubspot provided the traffic building tools he had been looking for in order to achieve the huge growth goals the company had set for itself.

“We knew we had to get more web traffic, and that more traffic would equate to more leads,” Johnson said. “We were able to use the HubSpot software to help us with our traffic building initiatives, and our leads increased dramatically as our traffic increased.”

HubSpot, Inc., based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, provides an all-in-one marketing software platform used by more than 5000 companies in 34 countries. HubSpot is also the developer of WebsiteGrader.com, a website analysis tool with more than 3 million users. HubSpot, Inc. was founded in 2006.

Non-Profit

Concepts For Non-Profts In Promoting Finances

Nowadays, many non-profit organizations need fresh ideas in fundraising. It is because many of us are having a difficult time when it comes giving away our hard earned money. In fact, even the old ideas in fundraising have grown stale, many people find these ideas uninteresting and not worth their time. Now the question to be asked is: “How to raise money and still keep people interested?” With this article, NPOs will know how they can do it.

It is important that the event NPOs will hold follows the organization’s missions and goals so that they could attract more audience. Furthermore, if they have a popular speaker that they could ask to work for free then the event could attract more crowds even if the crowd would have to pay for tickets just to attend the event. When NPOs host events like concerts and shows where they can sell tickets and raise funds, they ask famous actors or famous singers to perform for free.

NPOs can even collect items that can be put on auction says Start a Non Profit Organization. This fundraising event is among the most successful fundraising ideas and it is among the most popular ideas as well. NPOs can still sell items for fundraising. These items have to be similar from those sold at a grocery store but it would be better if these items are handcrafted and are cheaper than the regular ones.

Fundraising events will not be successful without the public knowing; there should be ads on radio, television or perhaps the Internet. NPOs can then ask for any amount of donation and provide small incentives so that individuals are encouraged to donate. NPOs can conduct contests and promote it with advertisements so that more people are encouraged in joining the contest. Of course, any friendly competition will do such as a baking contest, literary contest or even sports.

However, not every competition is a contest of acquired skills. One fine contest would be holding a contest between followers of the NPO regarding who can raise the most amount of money. The winner of the competition must have a prize but that prize must be within the budget scope of the organization. It would be a whole lot better if the prizes were donated by certain companies or individuals.

If there is enough manpower and time, NPOs can host large events such as bazaars where they can invite different companies to join and sell their products. Well, since the event is for a just cause, businesses must agree to pay a certain amount or donate some of their profit to the NPO. As long as the event is properly organized, everything will be as smooth as silk.

Clarifying Career PC Home-Study Online Training Courses For Microsoft MCSA Tech Support

The Microsoft MCSA (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator) course is a great basis for men and women looking to get into supporting networks. So if you want to get going or have previous knowledge but want to formalise that with an acknowledged certification, the right training exists for you. Each of these categories needs a specialised track, so make sure you’ve got the correct program in advance of getting going. Identify a provider that takes the time to understand you, and what you’d like to do, and can give you the clear facts to make your decision.

Coming across job security these days is incredibly rare. Businesses frequently drop us from the workforce with very little notice – as and when it suits them. We can however locate security at the market sector level, by looking for high demand areas, coupled with a lack of qualified workers.

Using the IT business as an example, a recent e-Skills analysis brought to light a national skills shortage around the UK of over 26 percent. Showing that for every 4 jobs available across computing, there are only 3 trained people to do them. Fully trained and commercially educated new staff are accordingly at a complete premium, and it seems it will continue to be so for a long time. We can’t imagine if a better time or market settings will exist for gaining qualification for this hugely growing and developing market.

Every program under consideration has to build towards a nationally (or globally) recognised exam at the end – not some little ‘in-house’ printed certificate to hang in your hallway. You’ll find that only recognised certification from the major players like Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA and Adobe will have any meaning to employers. Hop over to NewCareerCourses.co.uk for current specifics.

IT has become one of the more exciting and ground-breaking industries that you could be a part of. Being up close and personal with technology is to be a part of the massive changes that will impact the whole world for generations to come. We’ve only just begun to see just how technology will define our world. The internet will massively revolutionise how we view and interact with the rest of the world over the years to come.

Should receiving a good salary be high on your wish list, then you’ll be happy to know that the average salary of IT employees in general is considerably greater than with the rest of the economy. It’s no secret that there is a substantial nationwide need for qualified IT professionals. In addition, with the constant growth in the marketplace, it looks like this will be the case for years to come.

Please understand this most important point: You have to get round-the-clock 24×7 instructor and mentor support. We can tell you that you’ll strongly regret it if you let this one slide. Beware of institutions that use ‘out-of-hours’ call-centres – with your call-back scheduled for normal office hours. This is useless when you’re stuck and need an answer now.

If you look properly, you’ll find the top providers who give students direct-access support at all times – even in the middle of the night. If you opt for less than support round-the-clock, you’ll quickly find yourself regretting it. It may be that you don’t use it during late nights, but what about weekends, early mornings or even late evenings at some point.

Jack says, My main focus is to help people make money online and surprise them by not telling them that they need to continue to by more “stuff”, they just need to follow my training.

Jack also says, People are tired of the same old salesman, guru routine. Where they are always asked to “pony up” for more cash that most people just don’t have. I have streamlined the marketing method so that anybody can do it. Wrapping The Empower Network and the training you will receive from http://www.jackoryan.com into a nice pretty package.

Incite Creative Continues to Play a Role in Advancing Education

Johns Hopkins University President Ronald J. Daniels and local education leaders will unveil Compass: A Directory of Resources for Bright Students in Baltimore.

Baltimore, MD, Tuesday – September 13, 2011 — On September 15, 2011, Johns Hopkins University President Ronald J. Daniels and local education leaders will unveil Compass: A Directory of Resources for Bright Students in Baltimore. Produced by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) in partnership with Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) and the Baltimore Educational Scholarship Trust (B.E.S.T.), Compass puts information on more than 200 public, charter, and independent schools plus two dozen resources for academically advanced students all in one place.

In August, representatives from CTY, City Schools, and B.E.S.T. who collaborated on the guide were jointly named a Maryland Daily Record 2011 Innovator of the Year. Incite Creative provided graphic design services to help produce Compass as well as the launch event invitations.

“We’re honored to have played a role in such a comprehensive project, and one that will ultimately benefit students who will become tomorrow’s leaders,” states Dina Wasmer, President of Incite Creative ( http://www.incitecreativeinc.com ). “We believe that all kids have a special gift to share with the world around them, and it’s up to all of us to make sure they’re given an opportunity to shine.”

Baltimore’s public school students will be among many other students to benefit from the resources in this new guide. “The cooperation that made Compass possible is unprecedented, both locally and nationally,” said Thomas Wilcox, President and CEO of the Baltimore Community Foundation. “Public and private partners working together to give kids a range of quality educational choices-this should be a model for the rest of the country.” Amy John, Executive Director of B.E.S.T., looks forward to using Compass to introduce local families to area independent schools. “This guide gives a tremendous boost to important work,” said John. “It shows families who always feared their options were limited the wealth of opportunities they can look forward to in both public and independent schools.”

“Since our founding more than 30 years ago, the Center for Talented Youth has identified and cultivated academic ability in students around the world,” said Elaine Hansen, Executive Director of CTY. “But it is especially gratifying to shine a light on some of the best students right here in our hometown. We can’t wait to see what they’ll do with the resources we’ve been able to assemble.”

Space for the September 15 unveiling of Compass is very limited, but anyone interested in attending or obtaining a copy of the guide after the launch event can contact Lionel Foster, Assistant Program Manager at the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, at 410-735-6196 or lfoster@jhu.edu.
